The boulevard is becoming more and more
disagreeable, owing to the continual increase
of professions of ragged sandwich men, who
by day carry huge placards mounted banner
wise on poles. and by night transparent adver-
tisements in the shape of lanterns or luminous
tambourines. Hatters, cheap jewellers, music
hall keepers, showmen of all kinds and of all
grades resort TO this method of obtaining
publicity and impeding circulation Another
nuisance is the bowling "camelot," who deals
in second class newspapers and broadsheets
and bawls his ware from morning until mid
night News scandal and pornographv share
in almost equal proportions the attention of
these boarse voiced and horrible creatures,
whose presence and whose cries render the
bouleyarrls a most disagreeable promenade.
The other day gronp of artists protesting
an ardent love for Paris, and having at their
head the great Meissonier, protested against
the erection of the l 900 foot Eiffel tower on
the ground that it would disfgure and dis
honor Paris, the queen of cities. In the inter-
est of Paris it would be perhaps advisable to
protest against the Disagreement of the streets
of the capital by these crowds of sandwich
men and bawling hawkers Liberty is doubt
less an excellent thing, but in Paris we are
beginning to have too much of it. With its
streets and gardens, its monuments, its the
aires, its fine houses and its mild climate,
Paris ought TO be favorite winter city But
if the authorities do not look to it, and if the
Parisians do not themselves make an effort
toward gayety and elegance, Paris will soon
become neither favorite winter city nor a
favorite summer city.-Theodore Child in

How the Late Ben Halliday Reduced Time

How the Late Ben Halliday Reduced Time
tO San Francisco.
The death Of Ben Halliday continues to
revive stories Of the trials and specula-
tions and triumphs Of overland trans
portation before the period OF transcon-
tinental railroading, says the Springfield
(Mass.) Republican. Halliday was born
speculator and organizer. Back Of him
stood W. n. Russell, Of st. Louis, who
really originated both the Pixies Peak and
Overland Express Company and the ia.
NOUS pony express, although Halliday was
the active agent and ultimately became
the owner. In 1859 Russell sent Halliday
to Salt Lake to sublet q contract to supply
the Government with -four at three and
one-half cents per pound. But the trans
portation was twenty-five and one-half
cents more. Halliday discovered that
Brigham Young had wheat in great
quantity stored up, and bargained with
him to mill and deliver it for seven cents,
by which Halliday cleared $160,000 by
keeping his eyes open. Mr.. Russell had or
ganized the Pixies Peak and Overland
Express, but Halliday was made president,
advanced 600 and then foreclosed on the
property, which he after time sold to
Wells, Fargo s. Co. for 100000 The pony
express was a branch of the overland COM
pany. All mail had been previous to 1860
carried by the Pacific Mail Company. A
new stage route had been organized to run
south of the snow line in opposition to the
overland express. The time for the trip
was calculated at twenty days,and after a
million had been spent upon it the an
nouncement appeared in the papers that
on the eth of April, 1860, ponies would start
from San Francisco and from st. Joseph,
the riders along the overland express route
being provided with frequent relays. There
were no less than ten thousand people
gathered at st. Joseph as the pony started
west from the banks of the Missouri, and in
eight days and four hours the letters were
delivered at San Francisco. The pony ex-
press walked of with the Government con-
tracts and, as letters were five dollars be-
side postage, there was money in it.
